viva Analog // Envelope Lock(ed Loop)

the true-Comp mode is a real trip to handle as it hisses and spits between notes if you let it // breathes like you’ve never heard a compressor do it before … under the right conditions it gives infinity violin-like sustain; at times it sounds like backwards guitar … ok, that’s in the special effects dept. // in Limiter mode (what pretty much all comp pedals are) it can go from poppy/spanky to “is it ON or what ?” … subtle/invisible … IMO, what it does best in that mode

NOTE: this is an “economy” compressor pedal that seeks to offer one very good thing, at the expense of other things … the one thing it can offer is extremely-good signal fidelity // the other thing is “doesn’t offer” is a great compressor response AT ALL SETTINGS … this compressor is meant to be used in an INVISIBLE manner, as opposed to a strong “EFFECT” comptressor … it is mainly designed for BASS players who want to provide their band with a strong signal that never disappears … it can (recommended) follow a preamp circuit, and be sandwitched in front of a power amplifier … other than the “freaky” true-Comp mode, this comp/Limiter is meant to preserve audio tone and dynamics above ALL else

FEATURES:

an LED indicator provides a visual gain-redux indicator, even when you can’t tell if its doing anything there’s a visual clue // it’s THAT imperceptible at times …

there is also provision for side-chain processing, as inserting an EQ., for tailoring the envelope response to signal frequency …

headroom wise, it can take any kind of signal (active Bass, keyboards, line level signals, etc ….) as it has an internal signal headroom of at least 12volts pk-pk …
